Mock draft from Houston Chronicle projects different Texans choices

In their latest forecast for the 2018 NFL Draft, Houston Chronicle analysts John McClain and Aaron Wilson lay out their projections for what they think the Texans might do in this week’s draft.

Because the Texans do not pick until the third round, any degree of accuracy in knowing which players might be available for the three slots is nothing more than educated guesswork. Having said that, McClain and Wilson present two intriguing scenarios with players who could definitely help Houston.

McClain’s picks:

Rashaad Penny, RB, San Diego State

Joseph Noteboom, OT, TCU

Tarvarius Moore, S, Southern Mississippi

Wilson’s choices:

Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State

Anthony Coyle, OT, Fordham

DeShon Elliott, S, Texas

It’s interesting that both Texans insiders added an offensive tackle and a safety. Those are two of the team’s biggest needs. Each also tabs an offensive skill position player, which are lesser but still definite needs.

Houston’s first pick comes at No. 67 overall and will take place midway through Friday night’s draft coverage.
